Kristopher Jones’s Summary

I've been involved in online marketing since 1999 after co-founding a gourmet food company based on a product my grandmother made while I was growing up. In the early days it became apparent to me that you can generate a ton of highly targeted, relevant traffic by simply paying for it on a cost-per-click basis through an innovative website called GoTo.com. Shortly thereafter, I became quite interested in discovering new ways to monetize website traffic. Inevitably, I found myself being asked by business owners if I could share with them what I had learned.

By accident, I ended up creating a full-service internet marketing agency named Pepperjam, which was recently recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the top 500 fastest growing privately-held companies in the United States. Go figure. We are one of three SEM's on the list and to the best of my knowledge the only affiliate marketing agency - all in all, the Inc. 500 list suggests we are the fastest growing privately held Full-Service internet marketing agency in the United States.

The truth is that the team I've helped build at Pepperjam has a serious passion for internet marketing. We represent a growing population of young professionals with a strong understanding of e-commerce and how the internet makes doing business better. At Pepperjam we focus on providing clients with vertical expertise across the most important segments of online marketing: search, affiliate, and online media and we think we understand it better than anyone else.
